  • 将威胁指标编码进客户端梯度更新,利用对比学习增强相关特征表达。
  • 在两个公开基准上成功从梯度几何恢复跨组织攻击群组,准确率超90%。
  • 适合关注隐私保护安全检测的研究者与工业界安全团队。

检测跨越多个组织的协同网络攻击传统上需要跨机构和国界共享敏感遥测数据与威胁情报,而联邦学习通过在本地数据上直接训练共享威胁检测器,消除了这一障碍。我们提出FedIoC,一种模块化框架:客户端将本地结构化威胁指标融入其梯度更新;客户端编码器采用监督对比损失,在匹配已知指标模式的数据流上进行训练。每个训练批次中,匹配任意已知指标模式的流构成正样本集,对比目标使这些流的嵌入向量相互靠近,而非指标流则被推远,从而使攻击关联结构在梯度方向上显式表达。相同攻击活动的客户端产生对齐的梯度分量,服务器通过计算更新间的余弦相似度进行聚类,从而恢复全局攻击模式,且无需直接传输任何威胁指标。我们在两个分布于联邦学习客户端的公开威胁检测基准上评估了FedIoC,每个客户端仅观测到每场活跃攻击的一小部分片段,并持有来自本地遥测的不重叠指标集。在此设定下,联邦服务器可直接从梯度几何恢复跨组织攻击群组。我们贡献了FedIoC作为该场景的模块化框架,并揭示非独立同分布的梯度结构是恢复成功的主要驱动力,同时指出了设计更优编码器的开放问题。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Detecting orchestrated cyberattack campaigns that span multiple organizations traditionally requires sharing sensitive telemetry and threat intelligence across institutional boundaries and country borders, a barrier that Federated Learning removes by training shared threat detectors directly on local data. We propose FedIoC, a modular framework in which clients fold locally available structured threat indicators into their gradient updates; we instantiate the client-side encoder with a supervised contrastive loss over IoC-matched flows. Within each training batch, flows that match any known indicator pattern form the positive set; the contrastive objective pulls their learned embeddings together and pushes non-IoC embeddings away, so that campaign-relevant structure is, by design, expressed in the gradient direction. Clients sharing indicators for the same attack campaign then produce aligned gradient components, which the server clusters by the cosine similarity of their updates to recover global campaign patterns without any direct IoC transmission. We evaluate FedIoC on two public threat-detection benchmarks distributed across FL clients that each observe only a fragment of every active campaign and hold disjoint indicator sets derived from their local telemetry. In this regime the FL server recovers cross-organizational campaign cohorts directly from gradient geometry. We contribute FedIoC as a modular framework for this setting, and use it to pinpoint the non-IID gradient structure as the main driver of recovery and to define the open problem of designing encoders that improve on it.
